LIMNOPHILA
(Limnophila sessiliflora)

Limnophila is a perennial from
Southeast Asia. Most of the plant is submersed, but a few inches of
the stem and leaves can be emergent. Submersed leaves are up to 1 inch
long, feathery, and in whorls about the stem, while emersed leaves are
generally lance-shaped with irregular margins. Stems are up to 12 feet
long. Single blue to lavender flowers occasionally occur on the
emersed portion of the stem.

South Carolina
Law requires individuals to possess a Commercial Pesticide
Applicators License in Category 5, Aquatic Pest Control, before they
apply aquatic herbicides if the work is done for compensation on the
property of another. A license is also required, regardless of
ownership, if the application is made to an area where public access
to the treated site is expected. Private swimming lakes, where the
public would exposed to the treated waters, are the most obvious
example of the latter requirement. On all public facilities, such
as golf courses, driving ranges, subdivisions, condominium/apartment
complexes and mobile home parks, applicators are required to possess
a Category 5 License to apply aquatic pesticides.
